Caf Model - New Kit 1/48 Le Coureur 1776
Great. I hope it doesn't affect the shipment.
Of course, whether freight or passenger transport, or as soon as possible to return to normal

Can't wait till pay day when I can order my kit.
Hello Tom,
great work my friend. Just wondering if it would be possible to get a special order ( for an additional cost of course ) of this kit with boxwood or Pear frames ?

Hi Brian
I've bought a lot of boxwood and pear wood, and I'm thinking of making models out of boxwood or pear wood
Due to the processing characteristics of CNC, boxwood or pear wood will have better performance
Will be used later on fly

So Tom, cherry and not boxwood or pear will be the only option offered with the Le Coureur kit?
My last two plank on frame kits of Le Requin and Enterprise were cherry timber on the frames. I'm looking for a lighter coloured timber for my next build.

Well I have placed my order for the kit, now to wait, but not hold my breath, can't hold it that long....
Could someone who ordered the reference material give us a review on worth and value when they get both the kit and books in to help determine if getting additional books are really needed for this fine looking kit.

I don't know the price of boxwood version yet. I need to finish the cherry version first, and then calculate the price of boxwood. I hope the price won't be too expensive
In addition to maple, boxwood is the best choice for lighter colors
Ancre's monograph is very good. In addition to the detailed introduction of the ship, there are other relevant materials. If you are interested in his history, this is a very good book.
